Lloth (also known as Lolth), the Spider Queen, is cruel and malicious. The o­nly person in her world is herself. She is constantly plotting to keep her loyal minions in a state of turmoil. This way she can find the strongest and most cunning of her followers to serve her. Drow, being brought up under this religion, are all but perfectly suited to this arrangement. With the drow’s instinctive distrust and wit, all but the wiliest of opponents will be thrown into disarray. Seeing that Lloth is the goddess of chaos, this seems all but fitting. The main object of affection among Lloth worshippers is the spider. It is an offence punishable by death to kill or even maim a spider. Lloth gives unto her most loyal henchmen a poisonous spider to aid, guard, but also to watch in their furtherance of the religion.The clergy of Lloth are all women. The priestesses of Lloth are the o­nly subjects of Lloth to hold any real power in drow society. If a priestess of any rank says to do something there better not be any hesitation. Punishment for disobedience is usually swift and destructive. Killing is not their style, maiming is more reward for slow wits and procrastination.

Araushnee, the former Matron of Corellon Larethian and mother to Eilistraee and Vhaeraun, sought to oust Corellon and take his place. Araushnee made a deal with Gruumsh One Eye, the Orc God, Ghaunaduar, and forced her son Vhaeraun into her plot as well. Unfortunately for Araushnee, her plot didn’t work. Araushnee was turned into a demon and was banished from Olympia forever. From then on she was known as Lloth, Loethe, and Lolth. She gathered every Drow that was shunned from the surface and became the Spider Queen. The rule of the Drow became a Matriarchy. Her temple is rumored to be in the drow capital Chaulssin.
